The quilt patch titled

has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mmap-fix-vma_iterator-in-error-path-of-vma_merge.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mmap: fix vma_iterator in error path of vma_merge()
Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2023 14:30:39 -0400
During the error path, the vma iterator may not be correctly positioned or
set to the correct range. Undo the vma_prev() call by resetting to the
passed in address. Re-walking to the same range will fix the range to the
area previously passed in.
Users would notice increased cycles as vma_merge() would be called an
extra time with vma == prev, and thus would fail to merge and return.
